What is "elmdon"

Elmdon is a village in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England, near the boundary with Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. The undulating nature of the local topography differentiates it from countryside to the north which is predominantly fenland and flat.

The name means 'hill of elms' and this village homes the only three elm trees in Essex. Elmdon includes a village hall, a church, and a recreation ground used for cricket and football. It previously contained a pub/restaurant, the Elmdon Dial, now closed. There are bus links to Bishop's Stortford.
